Valiant Hearts, Inner Cities

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the war-sound of a city is not external armies but the settled imagination of your own mind. Be of good courage is a command to awaken the I AM within as the ruling consciousness; to behave valiantly for your people and the cities of your God means protect and steward your inner states—your habits, intentions, and loyalties—so that they stand fortified by divine order. When you assume that the inner world is already organized for good, you invite the LORD to act, not as a distant deity, but as the I AM establishing what you affirm as real. The phrase 'for our people, and for the cities of our God' becomes your inner alliance—your compassion and discipline alongside your sanctified thoughts. Do not chase outward proof; revised feeling and unwavering faith that the good already exists in consciousness will manifest as circumstance aligned with your inner alignment. The courage you cultivate inwardly becomes the world you experience.
